Earnings Release Q1 Fiscal Year 2019

October 1 to December 31, 2018

Mixed picture in first quarter - guidance for FY2019 confirmed

»Business performance in the first quarter is a story of light and shade. Siemens Healthineers' growth trend remains intact and customers' response to our new Atellica Solution laboratory diagnostics platform continues to be positive. What we are not pleased with, however, is the profit development of our Diagnostics business. We have therefore directly initiated measures to sharpen our focus even more on the business success of Atellica Solution. We confirm our outlook for fiscal year 2019«, said Bernd Montag, CEO Siemens Healthineers.

  • Comparable revenue up by 3% with a very healthy equipment book-to-bill of 1.13
  • Continued Atellica Solution ramp up with 370+ analyzers shipped1; again strong Diagnostics instruments growth - high single digit in Q1
  • Low Diagnostics adjusted profit margin of 8.1% due to currency headwinds of -130 bps and higher Atellica Solution ramp-up costs
  • Adjusted profit margin at 16.5%; -60 bps below prior year with currency headwinds of -40 bps and low Diagnostics adjusted profit margin
  • Basic earnings per share (EPS) up by 11%
  • Low cash flow mainly on inventory build-up and Diagnostics capacity expansion
  • Full year guidance confirmed

As of beginning of fiscal year 2019, Siemens Healthineers applies the accounting standard IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Comparative figures for the preceding fiscal year were not adjusted. Instead, the overall insignificant transition effects were recognized in equity as of October 1, 2018.

  • Comparable revenue up by 3%, led by moderate growth in Imaging and Diagnostics segments; on a geographic basis, strong growth in the Americas
  • Adjusted profit margin declined on negative currency effects of -40 bps year-over-year, low Diagnostics profitability and a reduced margin in Advanced Therapies; Imaging contributed positively
  • Net income increased to €345 million, resulting in 11% higher basic earnings per share; Q1 FY 2019 benefited from a lower tax rate and lower financing interest expenses
  • Free cash flow below prior year primarily due to build-up of operating working capital, capacity expansion and increase of equipment leased out in Diagnostics segment

  • Corporate items, eliminations and other items in Q1 FY 2019 improved mainly as Q1 FY 2018 was impacted by IPO costs and higher severance charges
  • Financing interest in Q1 FY 2019 decreased resulting from implementation of post-IPO capital structure; negatively impacted by high currency effects related to financing of business in Turkey
  • Higher net income in Q1 FY 2019 benefited from lower tax rate due to an effect from an international tax procedure which has been recorded in full amount in Q1 FY 2019 (Tax rate: 24% in Q1 FY 2019; 26% in Q1 FY 2018)

Outlook

We confirm our guidance for fiscal year 2019 and continue to expect comparable revenue growth to be in the range of 4% to 5% compared to fiscal year 2018. We expect our profit margin (adjusted for severance charges) for fiscal year 2019 to be in the range of 17.5% to 18.5%. Earnings per share are expected to be 20% to 30% above the level of fiscal year 2018. The outlook assumes that current foreign exchange rates persist for all of the remaining fiscal year 2019.

This document contains statements related to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving Siemens Healthineers that may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as "expect", "forecast", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate", "will", "target" or words of similar meaning. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, in presentations, in material delivered to shareholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens Healthineers' management, of which many are beyond Siemens Healthineers' control. As they relate to future events or developments, these statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and factors, including, but not limited to those described in the respective disclosures. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or factors materialize, or should underlying expectations not occur or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens Healthineers may (negatively or positively) vary materially from those described explicitly or implicitly in the relevant forward-looking statement. All forward-looking statements only speak as of the date when they were made and Siemens Healthineers neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, unless required by law, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

This document includes – in the applicable financial reporting framework not clearly defined – supplemental financial measures that are or may be alternative performance measures (non-GAAP-measures). These supplemental financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to measures of Siemens Healthineers' net assets and financial positions or results of operations as presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled alternative performance measures may calculate them differently, which may therefore not be comparable.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

This document is an English language translation of the German document. In case of discrepancies, the German language document is the sole authoritative and universally valid version.

For technical reasons, there may be differences in formatting between this document and those published pursuant to legal requirements.
